- Name: Janessa Robinson
- School: Tulane University
- Debt: $48,000
More than 70% of my debt comes from two years at St. John's University in Queens, New York. Transferring to Tulane University in New Orleans saved me money, thanks to scholarships. I got a degree in communications and now I've got a good marketing job at a tax trade group. But I'm struggling to pay off my debt, because the cost of living in Washington, D.C. is astronomical. I would love to advance my career and earn more money with a graduate degree, but I fear taking on more student debt.
